Fight Back Now
The Problem

The Problem Every Restoration Contractor Knows

Adjusters Slash Equipment Charges

Your dehumidifiers and air movers get cut without technical justification. You lose thousands per claim with no way to fight back.

Drying Time Gets Questioned

Insurance companies challenge equipment duration, ignoring the physics of moisture removal and psychrometric science.

You Don't Have Time to Fight

Writing detailed technical rebuttals takes hours you don't have. Meanwhile, the adjuster moves on to the next denial.

What We Do

Technical Justification Reports That Adjusters Can't Ignore

We don't guess. We calculate. Every TJR is built on IICRC S500/S520/S700 standards and psychrometric science.

Room-by-Room Psychrometric Analysis

Cubic footage calculations, LGR dehumidifier sizing formulas, air mover deployment ratios, all per IICRC S500. Every room, every factor, documented.

Equipment Sizing Verification

We verify every dehumidifier, air mover, and air scrubber against the IICRC S500 Factor Chart. Math, not opinion. AHAM ratings confirmed.

Line Item Defense

Every line item in your Xactimate estimate is justified with specific IICRC standard citations and technical reasoning. No argument left unanswered.

Adjuster-Ready Documentation

Professional reports branded to your company, ready to land on the adjuster's desk. They'll never know we wrote it. Your expertise, our science.

The Process

From Estimate to Approved. Four Steps.

Choose Your Path

Proactive (before adjuster review) or Reactive (after reduction). Pick the path that matches where you are in the claims process.

Testimonials

What Our Clients Say

Contractors, public adjusters, and attorneys trust CDA to defend their claims with science.

“We were losing $15,000+ per claim to adjuster cuts on equipment charges. Since using CDA’s Technical Justification Reports, we’ve recovered over $340,000 in previously denied line items. The 48-hour turnaround means we’re not waiting weeks for rebuttals anymore.”

Marcus Williams

Owner, Apex Restoration Group

“I’ve been adjusting for 12 years and I’ve never seen documentation this thorough. The psychrometric calculations and IICRC citations give my clients an unfair advantage at the negotiation table. Every contractor I work with needs this.”

Sarah Chen, PA

Licensed Public Adjuster, Pacific Claims Consulting

“The first TJR paid for itself ten times over. Our adjusters went from questioning every line item to approving the full scope. The science is undeniable and it’s branded to our company so it looks like our own expertise.”

James Thornton

VP Operations, Southeast Restoration Services

“In litigation, documentation wins cases. CDA’s reports are the most technically sound expert-level documents I’ve submitted to court. The psychrometric data holds up under cross-examination every single time.”

David Reyes, Esq.

Insurance Litigation Attorney, Reyes & Associates

“We went from fighting every claim to having carriers ask US how we build our files. The IICRC S500/S520/S700 compliance documentation changed everything. Our denial rate dropped from 40% to under 5%.”

Tanya Brooks

Project Manager, National Mitigation Corp

“The speed alone is worth it. But the quality? I’ve had carrier adjusters tell me they’ve never seen this level of technical justification. That’s when you know it’s working.”

Roberto Fuentes, PA

Senior Adjuster, Guardian Public Adjusting
